Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention
The present invention generally relates to a tray and, in particular to a packaging tray for hard disk drives.
Description of Prior Art
Electronics factories often use trays in workflow processes to provide carrying, transporting or storing functions etc. For example, in the manufacturing process of hard disk drive shells, most parts are placed in plastic trays for transportation to facilitate assembly and packaging of products in assembly plants.
However, since manufacturing of hard disk drive shells are not performed in a clean room. Therefore, dust might be easily accumulated in plastic trays when carrying or storing parts. Furthermore, existing hard disk drive shells are often anodized or painted, and when these parts are placed in plastic trays, the surfaces of the parts are easily to be scratched because they are exposed to dust in the plastic trays, and defective parts will be increased.
In view of the above drawbacks, the Inventor proposes the present invention based on his expert knowledge and elaborate researches in order to solve the problems of prior art.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a packaging tray for placing a hard disk drive in the accommodation space without contacting dust so that the hard disk drive in the box body can avoid scratching.
In order to achieve the object mentioned above, the present invention provides a packaging tray for storing and locating a hard disk drive having a plurality of positioning holes. The packaging tray includes a box body, and the box body has a plurality of frame walls and an accommodating space surrounded by the frame walls. The box body has formed a plurality of positioning posts at a bottom of the accommodating space, and the positioning posts are disposed corresponding to the positioning holes of the hard disk drive.
Comparing to the prior art, the packaging tray of the present invention has formed positioning posts in the accommodating space of the box body. The positioning post is inserted in the positioning holes of the hard disk drive, so that the hard disk drive in the accommodating space is kept at a distance from the bottom of the accommodating space without contacting the box body; thus the hard disk drive can be prevented from scratching due to the dust in the box body. In addition, a front stage and a rear stage are formed on the inner side of the box body for placing and positioning the front and rear sides of the hard disk drive. Besides, a plurality of bumps is formed on the left and right sides of the box body to abut against and position the left and right sides of the hard disk drive. Therefore, the hard disk drive can be positioned in the accommodating space without being scratched, and the practicality of the prevention will be enhanced.

Specifically, the frame walls 11 include a front frame wall 111, a rear frame wall 112, a left frame wall 113 and a right frame wall 114. Besides, the front frame wall 111 and the rear frame wall 112 are disposed correspondingly, so are the left frame wall 113 and the right frame wall 114.
Moreover, in the present embodiment, the hard disk drive 3 includes an upper cover 4 and a bottom cover 5, and the bottom cover 5 is provided with the positioning holes 2. On the other hand, the box body 10 has formed a front stage 13 on an inner side of the front frame wall 111 in the accommodating space 100, and the front stage 13 is disposed for positioning a front end of the upper cover 4.
It is worth noting that the hard disk drive 3 of the present invention is combined in a screwless manner. Therefore, the positioning holes 2 of the bottom cover 5 are provided only for positioning and not for combination.
In the present embodiment, the box body 10 has formed at least one rear stage 14 on an inner side of the rear frame wall 112 in the accommodating space 100. The front stage 13 and the rear stage 14 are disposed for positioning a front side and a rear side of the upper cover 4 respectively to avoid displacement of the upper cover 4. In addition, the left frame wall 113 and the right frame wall 114 are formed a plurality of bumps 115 on a side facing the accommodating space 100 separately. The bumps 115 abut against the left and right sides of the hard disk drive 3 and restrict its movement.
Preferably, the left frame wall 113 and the right frame wall 114 have a notch 110 separately, and the notch 110 is located in a middle of a side of the hard disk drive 3. It should be noted that, the deposition of the notch 110 can facilitate a user to take out the hard disk drive 3 from the accommodation space 100.
One thing to note is that, the upper cover 4 and the bottom cover 5 are combined in a screwless manner, such as combined in a snap-fit manner. Therefore, when the upper cover 4 and the bottom cover 5 are placed in the packaging tray 1, since the bottom cover 5 is positioned on the positioning posts 12 at the bottom of the accommodating space 100, and the front and rear sides of the upper cover 4 are respectively disposed on the front stage 13 and the rear stage 14 and to space apart from the bottom cover 5 without contacting, so that it can avoid unnecessary coupling during the transportation.
Please further refer to FIG. 4, which depicts another combination schematic view of packaging tray combined a bottom cover of hard disk drive of the present invention. As shown in the figure, the packaging tray 1 of the present invention is provided for storing and positioning a bottom cover 5, and the bottom cover 5 has a plurality of positioning holes 2.
